Uploading/Donwloading Whole folder at once

[Luckyfriend222]

I'm really sorry if this post makes a few people angry, I'm really new at this stuff, and really scared I break something. I would just like to know if there is a way that when a user, with a user account wants to upload a Whole folder at once (for example a collection of ebooks), if it's possible? I created a folder to where my users can upload, but they can only upload files, not folders. Is it in anyway possible that I can configure my Server in order for them to upload more than a file at a time? Furthermore I would like to know if it is possible that when I host a folder, if it is possible for a user to download that whole folder at once, instead of a single file at a time?
Please note that I haven't had any programming lessons or nothing, so you are really dealing with a noob here.

Any help will be VERY MUCH appreciated.

To download a whole folder (including sub-folders) you can already use the archive option that creates a '.tar' file with the whole folder content. You only have to set the corresponding permissions to your folders.

Uploading a whole folder at the moment is not possible, and this is not a limit of hfs, but of the http protocol. This may change in the future with a flash element. Look at this post: http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=7028.0

Thank you SO SO much! I saw that my files were "archivable" and that there is that option, but didn't know exactly how to work with it. I thank you sincerely!
